Oooopsie!!! Hadn’t Thought About That

It never ceases to amaze me that even at my age I can still do things that are big “ooopsies”! Today I had called Africa from the Skype on my computer. It is fun to be able to talk to Dw and Emma without the typical delay in overseas calls.

After talking to Dw for awhile, he gave the rented Ugandan cell phone to Emma. ((Emma, by the way, passed out in a back room at the orphanage today! She is feeling better now, thankfully!!)) Anyway, after talking to Emma for quite awhile, Dw came on the phone and said that he was going to try to SKype me from his computer….oohhh, fun!! He told me he would hang up and call soon.
We hung up and I waited and waited and waited and waited. Finally I decided I would try to take a quick shower since who knew when he would call back. This shower thing is not all that quick with the horse kick injury. I managed to get my laptop to the bathroom, where I turned it away from the shower cause I couldn’t quite remember how it works. I think that when someone Skypes you one must answer the “phone” and then (and only then) can they see you.
Of course, as life would have it, the phone started ringing on the computer as I was just finishing up my shower. So I hurried, grabbed my towel, leaned barely near my computer and pressed the little green button and said, “hey honey”….About this time Isaiah had also walked into the bathroom. Staying as far away from the little camera eye on the computer, but knowing that I would need to probably talk loud because I wasn’t really near the computer I yelled, “I just got out of the shower and am wrapped in a towel so I can’t stand in front of the camera!”

Dw started to chuckle and whispered as quietly as possible, “Linny, my computer volume is really up high, so this whole business center heard what you just said!” Ooopsie!! About that time I could hear chuckles in the background, and more chuckles and more chuckles from the men in that business center….and my sweet red-faced hubby just couldn’t stop laughing either as he said, “Yes, the man next to me is an itinerant evangelist from LA and there are men lined up on all the computers here”…..Dw just kept chuckling – I’m sure from the embarassment!! He had to hang up the Skype phone to get a grip!! I was laughing myself from total embarassment….I had been so successfully careful not to be near the camera, but just never would have guessed that a room full of men would have heard me!
Dw called back in a few minutes and now was using a pair of earphones that the man next to him had loaned him. Oh my! Note to self: Never, ever, say anything over Skype that you wouldn’t want anyone else to hear!
